When I send an email message, my Mail shows two messages outgoing instead of just the one I am sending.  What is going on?

When I send an email message, my Mail shows two messages outgoing instead of just one. 
What is going on?  Is it possible some "spyware" has crept in?

There is an email address on my website that automatically forwards to my "regular" email address, but this problem predates setting up that website.  My primary email is a bellsouth account (AT&T) which switched to a Yahoo mail-supported service....so based on your comments, perhaps that is why the activity is looking weird.

  • Gmail won't send messages, and Mail shows sent messages when I don't want

    I have my Gmail account set up through the Mail application. I can receive messages fine but I can't send them. So I send them by actually logging into Gmail. Now when I send them that way, they show up in my Mail account but i don't want them to. Help please!

    I am having the same problem. I have tried Mulder's solution without success.
    Here is some background:
    I have two gmail accounts. My normal "[email protected]" account with which I am using POP does send mail. However I also have a google apps account ("username@my_domain.com") connected with IMAP and I can't send using this one. I have tried the various ports suggested by gmail help. It won't connect with the outgoing server. I ran a Telnet test and my computer is connecting with the server, but it appears as "offline" in Mail. User authentification and SSL are both checked (although I have also tried unchecking them).

  • Mail shows up in several different inboxes, including the one it was intended. How can I turn off notifications for these duplicate messages?

    I would like to turn off notifications for duplicate mail messages.

    Kurt told you how to turn it off.

  • Had to reinstall iTunes after bad virus and now when I drag and drop song into custom playlist it won't added.  No green   appears, instead just the circle with slash.  What's going on?  a fix? Michael

    I had to reformat after a bad virus and reinstall iTunes.  Now when I try to drag and drop a song into a custom playlist, it won't add the song.  Instead of the green + that is supposed to appear, it just shows the circle with cross slash.  I created numerous playlist before and never ran into this problem.  Any suggestions on how to fix it?  Thanks 1ngiri

    OK, so I have now found that this is apparently normal for iTunes, to only accept mpeg 4 movie files, all the searching I did before I must have worded it wrong because I couldn't find anything about this, incredibly. Had been looking for why iTunes won't take all the files it previously did, like if it had been changed, and it hasn't, it's allegedly always taken only mpeg 4 files. Also I had been searching for why iTunes crashes every time I try and add/import anything but mpeg 4 files, and even sometimes with mpeg 4 files. That isn't normal, it's supposed to just do nothing apparently as I've just found out. So for these reasons I didn't find the answer despite my searching all over the web.
    So I guess that answers my own question now, but I'm still perplexed as to why I absolutely, definitely, without any doubt, had several hundred movies of a few different video file types loaded, accessible and playable in my iTunes library that everything here claims iTunes never accepted. It apparently shouldn't have been possible for me to have done this, but for probably 10 years it's been this way.
    Perhaps since I don't remember adding these files to iTunes anymore recently than maybe 6 or 7 years ago, the iTunes back then did accept all kinds of file types? Or could I have somehow had some video codecs or software that expanded the capability of my movie players like Quicktime Player that unwittingly also allowed iTunes to take those files as well? All I know is somehow it worked! So now my question is how did I have it working before, so that maybe I can make it work again.

  • When sending email Apple Mail is sending from both accounts instead of only the one I send it from

    I have 2 mail accounts, one for me and one for my wife. When I now send mail it is being sent from both accounts instead of just the one it was sent from. How do I stop this and why is it happening? Nothing new has occurred and all updatees are current.

    Both accounts are Gmail accounts too. FYI

  • Showing two messages being sent.

    I sent an email to 1 person. Mail showed two messages sending out. When I checked my sent box it only showed one sent. Does anybody know why it would show two messages going outbound?

    One reason might be in Mail's Preferences.  Look there (under Mail in the Menu bar), and choose the "Composing" tab.  Have you checked the box under "Composing" that says "Authormatically cc myself"?
    If not, look in your sent folder to try to locate the two messages.  There might be a twirly arrow that you may have to twirl next to "Sent" to show all your various account "sent" boxes.

  • TS3697 My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.

    My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.
    What am I going to do?

    The Photos tab doesn't appear there. If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos e.g. :
    If you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

  • When I am sending one message, mac mail shows sending several (6 last time), is it virus?

    when I am sending one message, mac mail shows sending several (6 last time), is it virus?
    mac mail also freezes from time to time and closes for no reason

    It is not a virus. It's a bug in Mail that fails to reset that count, so it keeps incrementing each time you send a message. When it says it's sending 6 messages, that really just means you're sending the 6th message since you last opened Mail.

  • HT1277 I can recieve emails but I can't send them out.  The blue bar at the bottom left of the Mail page gets half way across and then the pop-up "Cannot send message using the server" comes up?  What do I do?

    I have my Yahoo Mail "poped" over to Apple Mail.  I can recieve emails but I can't send them out.  The blue bar at the bottom left of the Mail page gets half way across and then the pop-up "Cannot send message using the server" comes up?  What do I do?

    Your outgoing mail server is different than your incoming server. Usually the outgoing mail server will have smtp in it. I noticed yours said "cannot send message using the server mail.wavecable.com". That sounds like an incoming mail server. Try setting your outgoing mail server to smtp.wavecable.com
    I hope that helps.
